When working with people who have complex lives, and doing so in a complex policy context, practitioners would be well supported by understanding theory, relevant research and by applying evidence-informed tools and frameworks to their practice. The existing literature is disparate, or held in text books. This volume seeks to provide a useful, succinct resource to support good practice in working with people.

This joint RiP/RiPfA publication will provide the reader with an overview of the available evidence in relation to ‘what works’ in working with parents who have a learning disability.

It will include case study examples of practice, and will offer recommendations for strategic leaders to consider in developing and leading systems to support effective working across children’s and adults’ services to support parents who have a learning disability.
